Tourism agencies in Greater Baltimore are launching new efforts to attract not only visitors to the area, but businesses too.

The Baltimore Visitor Center marked its 10-year anniversary by debuting a new 3D video that will help Visit Baltimore market the city to convention and meeting groups into the next decade. Meanwhile, four of Anne Arundel County’s tourism and business agencies are partnering on a marketing campaign with the tagline “Find It Here.”

Baltimore City

Designed by New Jersey-based Camagine Design LLC, “The Baltimore Experience” is a 10-minute video projected on a mosaic of 3D blocks that feature arts, historical, sports and cultural attractions across Baltimore. The film launched May 6 during National Tourism Week, and just before the start of a busy summer for Baltimore’s tourism industry.

The Visitor Center hadn’t released a new promotional video since it opened, Noonan said, but the technology used in the new presentation will allow it to stay relevant for years. If a hotel or restaurant changes hands, Noonan said Camagine Design can remove that part of the file and substitute new video. The voiceover by local actor Karim Clouden can also be updated.

Not only does the video provide an introduction to Baltimore for tourists, it’s also a marketing tool Visit Baltimore can use to attract new meeting and convention business. Visit Baltimore can show the video — plus a separate introduction from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake — to potential clients before going to actually see the sites in the film.
